Red Rugosa Rose is well-known for its incredible cold hardiness and disease resistance. This variety has beautiful crimson red flowers followed by scarlet rose hips in autumn. Try using the rose hips to make syrups or add flavor to existing fruit dishes and drinks.
Due to their overly thorny stems, Red Rugosa Rose is perfect for creating an impenetrable, deer resistant hedge. We recommend applying mulch during the summer months to retain moisture, cool the roots, and prevent weeds.
Note: This variety is from a seed source, not cuttings. Although somewhat true to seed and color expect some variability.
The Morden Centennial Rose is a showy flowering shrub with hot pink double-flowered blooms and yellow centers. This shrub has dark green and glossy foliage, which turns yellow in the later fall months and exhibits bright red rose hips.
The Morden Centennial Rose is a popular variety due to its high disease resistance and brilliant color.
